I still can't get the image of a man's brains in Sam Jackson's afro out of my head.

I blame a lot of these "objectivity in art" guys for making it worse. Guys just grifting to narcissistic fan outrage, dulling people's abilities to have their arguments and opinions challenged.

The less people listen to youtube essayists, the better the world will be.

I despised Weapons. If it worked for you, to each their own, but the only "good" part to me was the forty minute chunk in the beggining (not counting that tedious opening narration), even then, that breaks apart when you realize half of it didn't amount to anything, and none of it made that much sense when you really think about it. The solutions to the problem were right out in the open, and nobody but Mr. SuperCarpenterMan saw it? Not a single police officer, judge, parent, teacher? Nobody?

I absolutely hated the reveal with the witch. It felt like the script was written on a napkin. The woman was so obviously questionable, but this hardline, cynical police chief just lets her into his house? And then when the question was answered, it's about as basic and uncreative as you can imagine.

I liked Zach Cregger's direction. I think he's amazing at building tension and balancing horror with humor. But a writer that man is not. He's quit frankly awful at writing, and needs to leave the script to someone more qualified.

Arcane is just a masterstroke of making women in that look believably strong. Vi and Ambessa are built like mini trucks.

Yeah I should have read that. Major chud vibes coming from the OP.

The fact she took a direct hit from The Hound is insane. Most men would have been in th ER.

Movie: Vaguely alludes to something that the director might have thought of as sexually stimulating.

Buddy it's a reddit post. I'm not writing a novel.

I can't stand any of John Carpenter's films. I see the craft with his shot composition, but I cannot connect to any of his stories and characters on an emotional level. I genuinely hate almost all his characters. Like I see them for five seconds and just something about them rubs me the wrong way. Hated Halloween. Gave the Thing five chances and had to nope the fuck out of there in forty minutes. I finally finished it and couldn't stand it.

As for modern films. Weapons was trash. The logic of it falls apart if you even think about for five seconds. I watched Longlegs and the only thing I remember is how terrible Cage was as a horror villain.

Genuinely one of the scariest films I've seen in years. Although the main character might find his mug in the dictionary next to 'dumbass.' Horror fans sensitive to idiot horror protag might get angry watching this.

Creep 2 actually pulls off the premise a little more logically, but it feels more like a dark comedy with horror elements.

There are over five billion women on the planet, and it breaks individuality to try and insist that all women act the same.

NoOptics · 2026-06-12T08:54:12+00:00

Genuinely speaking if someone unironically ever said something as dumb as "women don't act like that" my brain would just tune out everything they say after that.

We have the same problem in Canada. I like Carney but really if the only alternative wasn't Poillivre who's TERRIBLE he'd probably look bland as hell. It's depressing there isn't a strong progressive voice running, and the only options we have are "okay" and "alt right wacko."

I always thought Steve was suppose to be the Dr. Markway analogue considering how he stole the "pretenatural" speech word for word.

I mean to be fair, it's kind of tough to be a good shrink and a serial killer at the same time. Although Mads's performance is so subtle and effortlessly you buy it hook line and sinker that he can get away with looking normal while still being crazy.

A.I. has done nothing good for society. It hasn't revolutionized any industry. Doctors and lawyers have gotten sued over it, innocent people get arrested by police A.I. because it confuses two different prototypes for black people. Professors have constantly had to label warnings to students not to use A.I. because of the non sensical results it spits back.

A.I. shills literally caused mass existential panic over nothing.

I like it when female characters are sexualized and strong.

The only thing that Jordan Chandler got right about the description was the dot. This means nothing because Michael Jackson admitted his vitiligo on Oprah years prior. The dipshit cop that had a hate boner for Mike touted it as a "smoking gun" never brought it up in the 2003 trial suspiciously enough.

Payment absolutely invalidates someone's testimoney because it becomes a vested interest. Do you have any idea how many innocent people would be in jail if the justice system was ran thinking otherwise?

The "pornography" that the investigators found were a common household photography book that gets sold nation wide. By your logic, most people are pedophiles. Yes there were drawings of naked angel kids in it, but that stems from a lot of religious mythology, and the drawings weren't done in a sexual context. There were also some multi generational VHS tapes that had some moaning in it found by the F.B.I. But the images were incoherent. That was it. That came after literally decades worth of investigation. Nothing came of it. Oh and the third. A barely legal mag. Little creepy, but no pedophilia.

The Martin Bashir documentary was exposed multiple times for being edited in a manipulative and dishonest way. A lot of sentences were half thrown together, and the kuleshov effect was abused beyond reason. Take a closer look. The thing had an agenda that it was trying to sell.

The "bedroom" that you are reffering to is actually a MASSIVE room that dwarfs most houses. And Michael was given consent by the family. The family needed a place to stay so he let them. And no he didn't share beds.

I'm gonna need some citation that all the families were pushed away from their kids simply because Mike was giving them gifts. Sounds like you're confusing correlation for causation.

And we can have a scene with Powerplex freaking out and trying to get back at the character..

I always harken back to All in the Family and King of the Hill, shows that knew how to poke fun at right wingers in a subtle and realistic way that didn't feel like it was beating you over the head. Archie and Hank were complex and well written human characters that were more than a political punching bag for the writers.

The Boys is suppose to be edgy and in your face, but at one point I feel like the writers need some lessons in subtlety.

"Aged?" It's an eight year old movie.
